Owen Roe ‘DuBrul Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The Owen Roe ‘DuBrul Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon is a single-vineyard wine from Yakima Valley, Washington.
- It comes from the well-known DuBrul Vineyard, which features mineral-rich soils and cool growing seasons. Ideal conditions for Bordeaux varietals.
- Low yields enhance the wine’s depth and concentration.
- This wine has excellent aging potential.
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Elaboration: This single vineyard 5 barrel blend was cellared in 20% new French Oak barrels for 20 months. Whole berry fermentation and a gentle basket pressing preserves the fruit and improved the mouthfeel of this unctuous wine.
Tasting Notes: A full-bodied wine but with nice perfume and delicious blackberry flavors along with pepper notes and a long nicely tannic finish.
